Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes was the best player at the World Cup according to SofaScore's ratings system.
According to the data company, SofaScore's ratings are determined by a 'sophisticated algorithm' that brings together hundreds of statistics which quantify a player's performance. In a tweet after the World Cup final, SofaScore claimed that Fernandes scored at least an 8.1 statistical rating in every match which he played.
A break down of the Portuguese star's statistics show that he scored two goals, grabbed three assists, created five big chances and managed an impressive 2.25 key passes per game. Unfortunately for Fernandes, despite these stats his Portugal team did not make it past the quarter-finals.
